Nerdstalgic: John Cena is the GOAT Pro-Wrestler turned Actor

11-8-2024 Update:

He dropped this video on the Rock earlier this week:

Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, has become one of the most recognizable stars on the planet. From his introduction in the world of wrestling, to becoming the most bankable star in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson has flourished mainly playing himself in every single movie. The Rock and Dwayne Johnson have become the same person, and that's what Hollywood wants. But with stars like John Cena and Dave Bautista spreading their wings and evolving as actors, it seems Dwayne Johnson is stuck in first gear. Will The Rock ever surprise us with a groundbreaking performance? Only time will tell.

Nerdstalgic dropped this video today:

Even though Dave Bautista first made a name for him self in the WWE and WWF, most people today would know him from his roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, Dune, and a wide range of movies from auteur directors. His decision to leave wrestling behind in pursuit of Hollywood was an obvious next step, but no one could have seen Dave Bautistas acting career coming. From Drax the Destroyer to Mr. Hinx and Rabban, Dave Bautista has elevated his craft and achieved what most wrestlers turned actors haven't been able to. Dave Bautista actually became a really good actor.

Former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista could’ve made a living cranking out low-grade action movies. Instead, he’s in 'Glass Onion' and 'Dune'—and becoming an actor to be reckoned with.

Original post:

It seems today there is an influx of pro wrestlers making their way into Hollywood. Whether it's the countless Dwayne Johnson movies, or Dave Bautista attempting to not act like Drax the Destroyer, its seems only one has escaped the type cast of muscle bound action star....AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA! Whether it's Peacemaker, his turn in Trainwreck, or his more action packed roles, its obvious now that John Cena is much more than the wrestler he was at WrestleMania. But how exactly did John Cena go from a goofy wrestler in jean shorts, to the Hollywood superstar we know today?

Do y'all agree with this?

Him or Dwyane

It's Dwayne. He may not be hot now but he was for a long ass time as the leading man. Cena picks more costarring roles.

 

[obarth]

Peacemaker is the only notably good thing he's done, though he was a decent villain in whatever Fast & Furious he was introduced in. I'd say Dwayne is the obvious best with Bautista second and Cena third.

Edit: Just read that paragraph and how is Cena not a muscle bound action star?

[Lootpack]

Dave Bautista with five minutes of screen-time in ‘Blade Runner: 2049’ shyts on anything else these other guys have done, IMO.

 

[Osmosis]

Cena or Batista. Rock doesn't act.

 

[CM_Burns]

Rocks the biggest star, so far Batista seems like the best actual actor
